About This Tour

Kolli Malai — the 'Mountain of Death' of Tamil folklore — is guarded by one of India's most demanding ghat roads: 70 tight, numbered hairpins stacked up the escarpment. This is a genuine riding challenge for confident riders, rewarded at the top by a cool plateau of jackfruit forests, the Agaya Gangai waterfall, and roads almost no tourists ever see. Three days of proper bend-counting.

Highlights

  • 70 numbered hairpins up the 'Mountain of Death'
  • The Agaya Gangai waterfall trek
  • A quiet, tourist-free hill plateau
  • A genuine challenge for confident riders
